Reader: A burger is a burger is a burger

Is it time for the "fancy burger trend to call it quits"? That's what Eric Cimino, chef at Luca d'Italia, suggests in this week's Chef and Tell interview. And nothing gets the meaty juices flowing like a big burger battle. "Not if it's delicious!" says Phillip. "I'm over it," says Richard. "I don't enjoy paying 12 bucks for a burger. No matter if it is the best non-homemade burger I've ever had," says Aksel. "A burger is a burger is a burger," concludes Linda. But the debate doesn't end there.

Says James:

The chef worship trend should call it quits. It's just cooking.

Says Richard:

I said that about printed newspapers once.
